Our Story
After working as a Physiotherapist and a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy specialist for 25 years — in addition to raising a family — Janet decided to start Higher Function Physio & Pilates in 2013 in Canberra City.
Janet built Higher Function to be a business where she would want to work as an employee. Having worked in urban, rural and private practices in Sydney, Toowoomba and Canberra, plus a military hospital and a pain clinic, Janet knew what sort of practice works best (and what doesn’t) — not just for patients but for staff too.
Because of this vision, Janet has consistently attracted and retained excellent, experienced Physios and Exercise Physiologists.
Janet believes that patients want:
- To know what’s wrong and have it fixed.
- To be listened to and understood, so we take the time to do this. We have long appointments so that we can properly assess, diagnose and treat your issue.
- Education. We do this in individual and group therapy.
- A supportive, caring and fun atmosphere in which to exercise.
Janet believes that staff want:
- Time to thoroughly assess, clinically reason, diagnose, plan, treat and communicate with doctors and referrers.
- To be recognised, appreciated and remunerated well.
- To keep up to date with professional development.
- To work autonomously.
